  1. Upland Game hunting, Dogs and dog training
    No offense, but you need to read that again, want to see my hunting log? I've been out almost every day since September 16, with the exception of the weekend of September 21, the first weekend of the woodcock season, when I had to go downstate for a concert my husband wanted to see. Gone two...
  2. Upland Game hunting, Dogs and dog training
    I don't know what to think, Ray, I just know that every year our numbers get lower...we have not yet had a day, in numerous different spots, that we hit what I would call real numbers, of more than 10 flushes in one small area. Last Tuesday was my best day, numbers wise-six birds in one small...
  3. Upland Game hunting, Dogs and dog training
    I've hunted there for more than 25 years. The hunting there is pathetic compared to what it was years ago. Yes, they do a little cutting, but it's token cutting, and not enough to sustain any measurable numbers of birds. If you find the food, you may find a grouse or two, but you'll find that...
  4. Upland Game hunting, Dogs and dog training
    Dave must know the best grouse hunting spot in the state, I've never even heard of 30 pointed grouse in 90 minutes, much less ever seen anything like that. Let's see, how could that happen...running into 4-5 broods of young birds and their hen, all in, at the speed that most people walk...
  5. Upland Game hunting, Dogs and dog training
    I realize that information is what this board is all about, but questions like what's the best type of setter breeding are fodder for wars on this board, historically. There are two distinct types of ES's in MI, with some interbreeding of both types. One type is known as the cover dog line...
  6. Lost and Found
    They have two culvert projects going on that road. A good many people who live right in that area, plus a whole lot more who drive through there every day, and the entire Central Lake crew of the ACRC, now know about your lost rod and reel. Hopefully, we'll hear something.
  7. Lost and Found
    The culvert area looked horrible because they weren't done. They're working on it now. Call the Antrim County Road Commission, maybe one of the guys found it and turned it in. 231-587-8521. Too bad I didn't see this earlier, for a few bucks you could have run an ad in the Antrim Review, people...
  8. Outdoor News
    Somebody should tell Al, the NWTF, and anyone else that's never before given a rat's a*** about our turkeys up here that the Traverse Bay Chapter of the MWTHA, which is apparently no longer active, planted THOUSANDS of crab apple trees, apple trees, oaks, filberts, chestnuts, hawthorns, and I...
  9. Cold Water Species Fishing
    Yup, we have them in the Torch River right about now, too. And the season is not closed there.
  10. Michigan Trapping and Varmint Hunting
    If the guy that responded doesn't work out, let me know. I have a friend who's looking for land with coyotes who lives right down the road, most of the coyotes and fox were pretty much decimated by a big mange attack last year in our part of Antrim, but it all depends on where you go. You'll...
  11. MichiganWaterfowl.com
    I always buy them at the post office, but usually buy them long before now, as their supplies always run out...
  12. Upland Game hunting, Dogs and dog training
    I haven't been out all that much yet this season, work obligations plus a weekend downstate to see a concert and family that I could not get out of, plus the heat in the afternoon and evening, but I've been out about six times. All different areas, all covers I hunted last year that were very...
  13. MichiganTurkey.com
    Where are you? Can you be a bit more specific-what area do you have for the fall turkey hunt? Winter kills 10 turkeys for every bird a coyote takes. I can't speak for wolves, but I would think they would prefer deer-a much more filling meal.
  14. Upland Game hunting, Dogs and dog training
    They're very good, many years ago my mother had a crazy French Poodle, this was when I was a kid and French Poodles were a relatively new phenomenon. Like many people in those days, she would just open the door in the morning in our suburban neighborhood and let the dog out. One day she...
  15. Wildlife Habitat
    That's rabbit, grouse, and deer cover, wildlife will be more apt to go in there during the day, rather than just at night.
  16. Upland Game hunting, Dogs and dog training
    If I saw a sign like that, I would pull out and hunt somewhere else, not just to give the guy his peace and quiet, but also to help my dog avoid possibly rancid bait that the bears have pulled out and left. Yucch. Like everybody, I've had moments with other hunters, but to be honest, not a lot...
  17. Upland Game hunting, Dogs and dog training
    The gray dogwood, which is way more preferred than the red osier dogwood, is just about done here, what berries are left are dried up, usually over here we don't get too many red osier berries as the deer eat them. I'm finding a few grouse in what few late blackberries we have, as well as around...
  18. Upland Game hunting, Dogs and dog training
    No flight birds yet. Way too early, we haven't even had a hard frost over here yet. In fact, very few woodcock at all, and those I am putting up are the same birds I put up last spring while turkey hunting. I have a photo of a thornapple tree that I took the other day that is so loaded down...
  19. North West Michigan Streams and Rivers
    Saw a couple tonight in the Cascade Creek. They're just getting started. Won't be a lot this year, as stocking in Charlevoix was cut a few years ago, but don't know if that will be noticeable in the Jordan or not. No woodcock at all out there tonight, no grouse, either, until we hit a certain...
  20. Upland Game hunting, Dogs and dog training
    Talked to him last week. He's at the Antrim County Farmer's Market almost every Friday. He is hoping to open this year. He didn't open last year because the land he leases to hunt on was hayed due to the high price of hay. He said last week that he believes he can hunt the land this year, it...
